Just did a reformat and reinstalled XP Pro SP3 with 2.06p3. Can access internet but "Connected" is not checked on Welcome Tab. Like I said I followed the FAQ instructions. Any ideas? Do I need to have this checkmark in order for LnS to work properly? Thanks

Phhew! That's a relief gents that I don't have to do another reformat hehe just to fix this problem. Wonder why 10 is such an evil number?

This kind of address were usually for private local network, that's why they are handled differently.
Normally, it is only useful when several interfaces are available, to have the automatic selection choosing the other adapter (in case you have one with 10.x.y.z and another one with a "standard" IP @ for the Internet connection).
In your case, since there was only one interface with a valid IP, the impact was only the checkbox not ticked.

Had to join as I have recently started using this firewall. It's the only actual 64 bit firewall I have found and I love it. It was a challenge to get working but I got it. However my connected is not checked either but I am sure it is working, should I worry? It shows packets information and passes shieldsup where it wouldn't before I corrected the adapter setting and I have been working with the rule set and I get alerts so all indications are that it's doing it's job except the connected box. Any insight?

Nevermind I think I will go back to ZoneAlarm. Problem is financial right now I am not sure I can afford another couple licenses. I really hate to go back to ZAX as it was such a resource hog but I don't know if I can come up with another 60 bucks for LnS and Vipre, much as I want to.
